This lusciously sweet Blueberry Bread is an old recipe I found in a vintage church cookbook. I’ve been making it for a while and it always turns out great!
I live in the Ottawa Valley where blueberries are plentiful in the summer months. We love going to visit the local blueberry farm to pick our own blueberries. I usually end up with so many that I need some recipes to use them up so they don’t go to waste.
With everyone talking about baking bread lately…sans yeast (because I cannot find that stuff anywhere right now), this Blueberry Bread recipe is perfect timing to satisfy your sweet tooth. It takes minutes to prepare and only 1 hour to bake two loaves!
We kept one Blueberry Loaf for ourselves here to enjoy. We gave the other loaf to Matty’s parents. His mom messaged me and told me how delicious it was. They ate it with vanilla ice cream and it really hit the spot.
Each bite is perfectly sweet with the yummy blueberry flavour coming through with every morsel.
To add to this beauty, I topped it with a luscious vanilla glaze. It’s easy peasy to make and really adds to the taste and presentation.
Blueberry Bread Ingredients
For the bread itself, you’ll need:
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Milk (I used 2%)
- Vanilla extract
- Flour (All-purpose)
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Fresh blueberries (You could use frozen blueberries (thaw them first) if you can’t find fresh)
For the Vanilla Glaze, you’ll need:
- Milk (2%). You could also use cream.
- Vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (We call this “icing sugar” in Canada)
How to Make Blueberry Bread
Start by preheating the oven to 350F. Grease two loaf pans and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together sugar and eggs. Add in the milk and vanilla extract and mix together.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the blueberries. The mixture will be quite thick.
Spread into loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out of the centre of the bread clean.
Cool the bread for 10 minutes in the pans and then remove and place on a cooling rack.
How to Make Vanilla Glaze
Start making the Vanilla Glaze right before the bread is due to come out of the oven or after it’s come out and still cooling in the loaf pans.
In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Increase the milk until the desired consistency is reached. I suggest starting out at 1 tbsp and seeing what you think of the consistency.
After the bread is on the cooling racks, drizzle the vanilla glaze over top. Let the bread cool and then slice and enjoy.
